I actually crossed MA 28 on foot while visiting Boston last month, but I didn't realize it!  I walked down the Boston Commons path adjacent to the roadway, but I didn't actually walk on the roadway or its sidewalk.

So, unfortunately, I'm still stuck at 28.  I'll probably stay there for a long while.

Another update! My number went up from 32 to 38 earlier today.

Upon some re-review of a 2016 bus trip I took in the DC area, it turns out I did clinch a tiny portion of US 29 (where it serves as a frontage road to I-66 near Rosslyn).

My new number is 32. Once that is taken care of, I'll be able to jump up to 45.

A drive through northwestern Connecticut about 2 weeks ago resulted in a successful opportunity to knock off a segment CT-126, so my new target is 148.

Behold, the results of futile efforts!

Condensed version:

After taking a long-weekend road trip into Virginia, West Virginia, and Ohio, my Lowest Number route has changed from 266 to 303.  So I am now in the "300 Club".

Assuming Rothman's standings are up to date, increasing my number 37 places moves me from 14th overall to ... 14th overall.  Bah.  Guess I'm in a sparse part of the list.

The Gory Details:

I was stuck on 266 for a while since the nearest one to me was about 350 miles away in Ohio.  (Darn them for cancelling I-266 in D.C.).  While I was out that way, I also picked up 269 and 284.  Also got 310, 323, and 367 for future consideration.

The next one I need - 303 - is available on Maryland's Eastern Shore, along with a few others I need clustered together.  Maybe after the summer holidays are over, I may trek out that way and grab them.

The next "trouble maker" may be 319.  There is a tiny VA 319 near Petersburg, or I might try to get US 319 on my December trip to Florida.  (I may have been on US 319 around age 7, but I am not 100% sure, so I won't count that).

drebbin37

Now that I'm a member here, I'll go ahead and join this list at 368.

My most recent trip included OH323 and NY362, two numbers that I was previously missing.  I have no immediate plans to move up the list, but you never know when opportunity will strike.

74/171Fan posted one. Of course, I'm tapped out for like 7 of the next 8 numbers.

While I still have 27 as the lowest untraveled number (that was numbered as such at the time), I've grabbed one of the hardest numbers below 100 to get in Spain: 88 (few roads are numbered in the 80s and 90s). I went all the way to Albi, France to get it.
Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

Update: I've hit PA 38, north of Butler. So now...

OH-39
I-40
WV-41
PA-42
PA-43
PA-44
PA-45
US-46

I think that leaves me at 47.

EDIT:

Still missing 48, but that one should be easy, as it's in Pittsburgh.

OH-49
US-50
PA-51
US-52
PA-53
PA-54
FL-55
PA-56

So I think, after 47 and PA-48, my next one is 57.

2½ years later, I'm retaking the lead with 668 as my new lowest-numbered route.

Quick, get to Ohio and get OH 668 before oscar finds a 661 and jumps to 700 or higher.  :wow:

So, Oscar will step out of his front door and take ten minutes to beat formulanone.  Some poor strategy going on here...

Still, have to give credit where credit is due for formulanone beating Oscar...for however temporarily.
